Aspartame’s deadly effects are most certainly true. I am living proof, that if I had not heard about Aspartame 8 years ago and discontinued its use, I would have been dead by now. I used to drink diet soda’s about 4-6 cans a day, and used all diet products because at 120 lbs. I thought I was fat. (Soda, gum, Jell-O, pudding, hot chocolate, Crystal Light, kool-aid, etc.) All diet products used Aspartame for a sweetener. Even though I was using all these “diet” products, I kept gaining weight.
I thank God daily that 8 years ago my son brought home an article sent by his science teacher about the effects of NutraSweet. At that time, I was experiencing many of the symptoms described in the article, heart palpitations, dizziness, brain fog, memory loss, extreme fatigue, depression, blurred vision, muscle soreness, and worst of all, I had a large mass in one of my breasts (my breast had become very deformed, sore and so much larger than the other that I couldn’t even find a bra to fit).
I had a biopsy done and it was not cancerous, so I was supposed to go back for a re-check in 6 mo. (I did not go back in till 18 mo. because of fear). During that time, I got rid of everything that contained NutraSweet, started drinking mostly purified water and some coffee or tea). I worked at drinking a lot of water daily to try to flush my system out. What I had done in those 18 months seemed to work because when I had the re-check done, the mass was gone! The heart palpitations were gone too. The doctor and radiologist said whatever I was doing, to keep it up.
They were amazed that a mass that size could go away on its own.
Today I am 47 years old and I believe that I still suffer from depression, fibromyalgia and I have recently been diagnosed with thyroiditis, because of my diet soda intake and other diet product usage from years earlier. But, I know that Doctors will never admit my problems are caused from Aspartame poisoning. Not when Monsanto keeps donating huge sums of money to the American Medical Association. The doctors will keep their mouths shut, at the expense of us! They’re some doctors that are speaking out against Aspartame, but they are few. I am one of an ever-growing number who have educated themselves on diet and nutrition because I choose to live! I will not sacrifice my health or life for a Diet Pepsi!
I would like to see this TOXIC DRUG removed from the human food chain. And if possible, I would like to be a part of the law-suit against Monsanto.
